Services
Green Roof Consulting
Our consulting services bridge design intent with practical implementation for green roofs. We offer feasibility studies, structural evaluations, and system selection tailored to climate conditions. With 45 years of global experience, we ensure projects maximize biodiversity, stormwater management, and energy efficiency while maintaining cost-effectiveness through our proprietary KLIMA ROOF system.
Solar Garden Roofs
We integrate photovoltaic systems with green roofs using our patented non-penetrating mounting technology. This dual-purpose solution enhances energy production while improving plant growth conditions. Our systems reduce heat island effects and optimize space usage for commercial buildings seeking combined sustainability benefits.
Blue Green Infrastructure
Our blue-green systems combine water retention with vegetation to manage stormwater sustainably. Using foam glass aggregates and retention layers, we create zero-runoff solutions that reduce urban flooding while supporting biodiversity. These systems work effectively in dense urban environments with limited drainage capacity.
Urban Tiny Forests
We design compact, self-sustaining forest ecosystems for urban spaces using native plant species. These low-maintenance installations enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and provide educational opportunities in densely populated areas with limited green space.
Foam Glass Aggregates
Our open-cell foam glass made from 100% recycled materials provides lightweight, durable insulation for green roofs. This non-plastic solution improves drainage, retains moisture for plants, and contributes to circular economy principles through its complete recyclability.
